The Generals

The retired generals who have spoken out, in retrospect, calling for Rumsfeld's head while admirable, misses the point, I believe.

Until the generals, and other officers and men, are prepared to stand up for America and voice their opposition to the inept, unamerican national leadership, nothing will change.

Please spare me the nonsense about loyalty for the only loyalty is that of to the Constitution, period. Had the German Wehrmacht the courage to tell Hitler that they would not swear an oath of loyalty to him but would continue in the honored tradition of loyalty to the fatherland, the history of Europe, and the world, may well have taken a different path.

I understand that it is difficult to stand up in opposition when it makes likely the fact that all you have worked for will disappear but no one ever said that keeping our freedom was easy. The Founders risked everything to give us that which is now being trampled by George W. Bush and his willing henchmen in their task of transforming America from the last, greatest hope of humanity into just another cold and cruel imperialistic power.

Time grows short, the flame of liberty flickers dangerously low.
